Description And Operation: Introduction

The parking brake is an electrically actuated system that operates on the rear park brake calipers. Two cables are connected to the rear park brake calipers, and act directly on the pistons.

The parking brake is controlled by the parking brake control module. In response to commands from the driver through the parking brake switch, the module controls operation of the parking brake actuator. The actuator adjusts the tension of the brake cables to apply and release the rear park brake calipers.

Features of the parking brake include:

• Manual apply
• Manual release
• Automatic apply
• Automatic release.
